They are seated on the ground, leaning slightly to one side with their legs extended in front and their arms resting on their knee. The person's face is turned in profile without detailed features. Their hair is styled in a bun with two golden hairpins. They are wearing draped clothing that flows loosely around their body and is gathered around the knees. The background is a solid light beige color.
